''What is the difference between surrender and offering?''
 
The two words are almost synonymous: "I make the offering of myself and I surrender myself", but in the gesture of offering there is something more active than in the gesture of surrender. Unfortunately, ''soumission'', in French, is not the true word; in English we use "surrender"; between the words "surrender" and "offering" there is hardly any difference. But the French word "soumission" gives the impression of something more passive: you accept, while offering is a giving—a voluntary giving. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/22-february-1951#p3,p4</ref>
